    <p>The <strong>Merge</strong> feature in Announcements allows for a central course to broadcast announcements to other courses. <em>For example: a Nursing Program includes twenty different courses, but a single Nursing Program master course or project site can be used to push announcements out to all twenty of the Nursing Program courses. </em></p>
<ul>
<li>Merged announcements can only be edited in the course within which they were created. </li>
<li>Courses that receive merged announcements can continue to create additional announcements that apply to those courses only. These appear in addition to the merged announcements. </li>
